Your guess is as good as mine, but since the rules make reference to "track" and "doors" I'd go for no.Iain wrote:As I understand it, no, as they need to get trains out of Lille depot and back in.
Would I replacement bus service be legit for an attempt?
Just one thing... Leytonstone High Road to Leytonstone in 2 and a quarter minutes? Don't really think that's gonna happen...FelixJ20000 wrote:Also, I've brought down my time to 16:19:00, now 00:33:22 behind the WR

agreed on that its 800m now unless u going to Sprint it all the world record is 100sec .91 so u have to be around 30s of the fastest man on the world and I can't remember him having to dodge passengers and get out his oyster card. so that put ur loop back 20 mins perhaps causing problems?The Orange One wrote:@FelixJ20000 wrote:Also, I've brought down my time to 16:19:00, now 00:33:22 behind the WR

I'll probably get someone to do a gentle bit of door holding if we're late - it's all gonna be trialed firstdstock17 wrote:agreed on that its 800m now unless u going to Sprint it all the world record is 100sec .91 so u have to be around 30s of the fastest man on the world and I can't remember him having to dodge passengers and get out his oyster card. so that put ur loop back 20 mins perhaps causing problems?The Orange One wrote:@FelixJ20000 wrote:Also, I've brought down my time to 16:19:00, now 00:33:22 behind the WR

That said, I've done Hanger Lane to Park Royal in 2 and a half, which is about the same distance - so it might be possible! But then getting into Leytonstone station takes longer than it seems...FelixJ20000 wrote:I'll probably get someone to do a gentle bit of door holding if we're late - it's all gonna be trialed firstdstock17 wrote:agreed on that its 800m now unless u going to Sprint it all the world record is 100sec .91 so u have to be around 30s of the fastest man on the world and I can't remember him having to dodge passengers and get out his oyster card. so that put ur loop back 20 mins perhaps causing problems?The Orange One wrote:@FelixJ20000 wrote:Also, I've brought down my time to 16:19:00, now 00:33:22 behind the WR

Indeed!! My first GWR (with Sam, the one that broke Geoff and Neil's by 5 seconds) required us to visit T4 by replacement bus.Iain wrote:I wasn#t tube challenging back then, but I seem to recall a time where you had to use one to get to part of HeathrowFelixJ20000 wrote:Your guess is as good as mine, but since the rules make reference to "track" and "doors" I'd go for no.Iain wrote:As I understand it, no, as they need to get trains out of Lille depot and back in.

No, all stations must be visited by London Underground. The T4 replacement bus was a rare exception - I think someone at Guinness was having a 'funny five minutes'!Iain wrote:That was what I was thinking of I think.Steeevooo wrote:Indeed!!

Question is, would it be legit when there's a timetabled tube service at certain times of the day?
